Glarine Injection 100 IU/ml contains Insulin Glargine, a long-acting basal insulin used to control blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus. It provides a steady and prolonged glucose-lowering effect over 24 hours, helping maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day and night. This insulin analogue is commonly prescribed for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Insulin Glargine 100 IU/ml
• Dosage Form: Injection

Indications

Glarine Injection is indicated for:

• Type 1 diabetes mellitus
• Type 2 diabetes mellitus (when oral medications are insufficient)
• Maintaining basal insulin levels for long-term glucose control

Mechanism of Action

Insulin Glargine is a modified form of human insulin that works by facilitating the uptake of glucose into body cells, especially muscle and fat tissues, and reducing glucose production by the liver. After subcutaneous injection, it forms microprecipitates in the tissue, allowing slow and continuous release of insulin, resulting in a prolonged, peakless action profile.

Dosage and Administration

• Administer as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
• Usually injected once daily at the same time each day.
• Given subcutaneously (under the skin) in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
• Rotate injection sites to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy.
• Do not mix with other insulins or dilute before use.

Benefits

• Provides consistent 24-hour blood glucose control
• Reduces risk of blood sugar fluctuations
• Convenient once-daily dosing
• Mimics natural basal insulin secretion
• Helps prevent diabetes-related complications

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
• Injection site reactions (pain, redness, swelling)
• Weight gain
• Lipodystrophy (changes in fat tissue at injection site)

Severe hypoglycemia requires immediate medical attention.
